Mapping the Frontiers of Private Property in Australia

该项目旨在开发一个新的DH数据集，系统地记录和绘制第一代澳大利亚私有财产所有权。该项目希望对新南威尔士州自1788年以来的这一现象产生新的认识，利用历史记录制作一幅数字地图，显示新南威尔士州的土地从何时、何地、以何种程度从王室所有权转移到私人手中。预期的结果包括一个开放获取的地图，这将首次使学者们能够将财产所有权的历史与澳大利亚历史的其他方面进行对话。它的好处之一是，它将使未来的学术工作和公民参与有效地扩展澳大利亚房地产历史的知识。

This project aims to develop a new DH dataset, systematically documenting and mapping the first generation of Australian private property ownership. The project expects to generate new knowledge of this phenomenon in New South Wales from 1788 onwards, using historical records to develop a digital map that shows where, when and to what extent parcels of land in NSW moved from Crown ownership into private hands. Expected outcomes include an open access map that will for the first time enable scholars to place the history of property ownership into conversation with other aspects of Australian history. Among its benefits it will enable future scholarly work and citizen engagement to effectively extend knowledge of Australia's property history.
